Tom Cruise to sing Wanted in "Rock of Ages"
 

And you thought an animated Kurt Cobain singing to a Bon Jovi track on Guitar Hero was bad?

Since when does Tom Cruise sing!? He would have to be one of my least favourite actors, along with Nicolas Cage. Blagh.

I'll definately be interested to watch the film though (I didnt know it was being adapted into a film!)... I've always been interested in seeing the broadway show but it's only coming to Melbourne in Australia.

Has anyone seen the broadway show?

Anything that puts Jovi songs in peoples consciousness is good with me- same with the Glee cover versions or selling the songs on Guitar Hero and Rock Band- get the songs recognised by a new audience and tap up a few more fans.
It would have to go some to beat his Tropic Thunder performance though :p

He can't be any worse than these idiots on those 'Britain's got the Idol Factor' type shows, and he'll at least get vocal coaching.

Tom singing 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' on Top Gun is pretty painful!

I haven't seen it, but wasn't that about 25 years ago? I'd think people can change/get better.

Regarding that performance, I think that was the point of the scene. It was suppose to be cringe worthy to the girl, he is singing too.

Tom Cruise has be one of the worst ever actors. I imagine he is just as bad a singer.

For the record, I have no problem with the song being used, actually quite the opposite. Like Bounce7800 said, anything that puts the band's music out there is great. I just hate that it's Cruise singing it.

Worst Ever? . He is not terrible at all, he's just been cast in some bad movies. Or is this just you following some sort of band-wagon?

Amen brother.

It's very cool to talk shit about Tom these days but it can't be argued that he is a great actor. He's Oscar nominated FFS.

Here's just a few of the great films he's been in.

Magnolia
Vanilla Sky
Risky Business
Rain Man
Born On The Fourth Of July
Mission Impossible
Jerry Maguire
Minority Report

He might be into Scientology but that doesn't make him a bad actor.

I couldn't agree more .... he is the target in the media because he is scientologist (spl? ) but in my opinion he is a VERY GOOD actor .... I never thought he was performing acting bad even in his not so good movies ..

and like you said he did a lot of GREAT movies too

Hell yes, I didn't even include Cocktail or Top Gun in the list. Those films have got me through some cold dark nights.... :(

Very popular movies are not always meaning bad -especially in the 80's or the 90's . TC is a MAJOR actor and you can see how hollywood system is always willing to destroy today who they adored yesterday.
I don't care about people's privacy .... it unrelevant to try to find trash and attack him for things that are NOT related to his acting skills but well that's my opinion.
I loved him in Walkyrie too
I don't think he was BAD in any movie (meaning bad acting ) he had maybe bad choice like any actor but well ...

I agree. I personally don't care what any actor/singer/entertainer does in their own time. Afterall, if you found out that the star of your favourite film was a murderer, would it stop you from enjoying the film in future? Granted, if they played a murderer in the film it might be distracting but still, their personal life has no bearing on their work.

it's extreme ... to be a murderer is against 'most' systems
if TC is arrested for murder he will be put in jail but will I think he is a bad actor I don't think so I will though think he deserve to be in jail.
Plus most of the ways hollywood is trashing anyone famous is no way near being a murderer or not it's more about finding something juicy (for the average Joe) to destroy that famous person image. but what will make hollywood think ohhh ahhh will have most of the time no effect on the Uk press for example .I don't know but to have TC jump on Oprah sofa 'drama' was just pathetic ... who cares about his skills on jumping on a sofa ;)

Actors wanting to be singers and singers wanting to be actors!

I honestly can't stand him. I don't like Nicole Kidman, Ben Stiller or Angelina Jolie, either. I think they are all terrible actors.

Call me weird if you want.:p

Dont forget Collateral

Uh, Mission Impossible was a lot of things.... "great" not being one of them :p
